SIR 46:1  Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name,

SIR 46:2  Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel.

SIR 46:3  How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities?

SIR 46:4  Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the enemies.

SIR 46:5  Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two?

SIR 46:6  He called upon the most high Sovereign when the enemies assaulted him on every side, and the great and holy God heard him by hailstones of exceeding great force.

SIR 46:7  He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries.

SIR 46:8  That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God. And he followed the mighty one:

SIR 46:9  And in the days of Moses he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephone, in standing against the enemy, and withholding the people from sins, and appeasing the wicked murmuring.

SIR 46:10  And they two being appointed, were delivered out of the danger from among the number of six hundred thousand men on foot, to bring them into their inheritance, into the land that floweth with milk and honey.

SIR 46:11  And the Lord gave strength also to Caleb, and his strength continued even to his old age, so that he went up to the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an inheritance:

SIR 46:12  That all the children of Israel might see, that it is good to obey the holy God.

SIR 46:13  Then all the judges, every one by name, whose heart was not corrupted: who turned not away from the Lord,

SIR 46:14  That their memory might be blessed, and their bones spring up out of their place,

SIR 46:15  And their name continue for ever, the glory of the holy men remaining unto their children.

SIR 46:16  Samuel the prophet of the Lord, the beloved of the Lord his God, established a new government, and anointed princes over his people.

SIR 46:17  By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the God of Jacob beheld, and by his fidelity he was proved a prophet.

SIR 46:18  And he was known to be faithful in his words, because he saw the God of light:

SIR 46:19  And called upon the name of the Lord Almighty, in fighting against the enemies who beset him on every side, when he offered a lamb without blemish.

SIR 46:20  And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.

SIR 46:21  And he crushed the princes of the Tyrians, and all the lords of the Philistines:

SIR 46:22  And before the time of the end of his life in the world, he protested before the Lord, and his anointed: money, or any thing else, even to a shoe, he had not taken of any man, and no mall did accuse him.
